On May 31, 2023, I received the above email from Jodi and I wrote back asking if she would tell me more and the following is what she wrote.

Jodi Rose 45, is a Seasoned entrepreneur and Survivalist from Worland, WY. She first burst onto the scene as one of the ten contestants on the 10th season of Alone.

Jodi whose hometown is Worland, WY grew up in the rugged mountains of Wyoming, where she had the rare opportunity to connect with nature and use what nature had to offer. Jodi had a love for all things self-reliance from childhood, due to the influence of her farming parents and grandparents. The experience Jodi had with her parents helped her gain the skills to survive and thrive in the wild.

Jodi’s parents were contracted fence builders and guides, and they got jobs that took them to various parts of the wilderness of Wyoming. Jodi had to spend most of her childhood and teenage years on the back of a horse, following her parents from one adventure to the next, all over the state. Jodi’s parents utilized this time to teach Jodi and her siblings the skills of bushcraft, wilderness survival, and self-reliance. All these lessons weren’t a big deal to Jodi because her love for the wilderness and animals came naturally and began at a tender age. This made her way to Alone a walk in the park.

Apart from Jodi’s love for nature, she was blessed to have a partner and a family of her own. Jodi and Frank were lucky enough to bear the fruits of the love they had for each other by having five adorable children: Zak, Klayton, Josie, Josh, and Isaac. Jodi’s children were raised on the family ranch in the middle of the Wild River Indian Reservation.

Jodi and her husband, Frank, continued their traditional duty of teaching self-reliance and living off the land to their five children, as their past generations did. Jodi made it a norm that her family lives in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains for five months a year, while the rest of the year they work at their family business building epoxy tables and furniture.

Jodi’s passion for living on the land and connecting with God through Mother Nature gives her the charisma to learn new skills and always test her self-reliance. All this will happen in northern Saskatchewan on Season 10 of Alone.

That's the short version of my life but sums it up pretty well.

Now as for your sleeping bag.

I knew that going on Alone meant they would drop me somewhere with near negative 60 degree temperatures. With this in mind I knew that my only chance at survival was to have the best and warmest sleeping bag made. I did much-needed research and found Wiggy’s.

It didn't take me long after being dropped in Northern Saskatchewan to realize that I made the correct choice by purchasing and bringing my Wiggy’s sleeping bag. The temperatures plummeted shortly after my drop and the nights were bitterly cold. With truly little as shelter, I stayed toasty warm every night in my Wiggy’s sleeping bag. If it weren't for my Wiggy’s sleeping bag, I would not have lasted a week in Northern Saskatchewan. It truly is the best bag made.

Thank you Wiggy’s!¡

All the best,

Jodi Rose, Season 10 of Alone.

Thank you, Jerry,

Thank you for the best bag ever made!!

It has come to my attention more and more of the contestant are using my bags. The reality is I believe is because the Lamilite is resistant to water so they can stay drier and therefore warmer. There are obviously more reasons but you know that as well!

We have to watch the program to see how see fared, as I do not know so I'll be watching as well. But I do think she has a leg up on those who do not have a Wiggy's bag!!!
